Living Dances(2020)

A documentary web series about the native folkloric dances of Argentina.

Living Dances is a documentary series that explores the cultural significance of traditional dances across Córdoba province and its surrounding regions. Filmmaker Emiliano Zerbini travels through these communities to investigate why preserving native dance forms matters to local people. The series examines how these ancestral movements connect to identity, history, and community bonds, capturing performances and conversations with dancers and cultural custodians. Living Dances celebrates the artistry and resilience of traditions that risk fading as younger generations face pressure to adopt modern lifestyles. Through intimate portraits and on-location footage, the series makes a case for the living heritage embedded in these dances—not as museum pieces, but as vital expressions of regional culture that continue to shape how people understand themselves and their place in the world.
